Instructions
- In a large pot, boil potatoes in salted water until fork tender, approximately 10-15 minutes depending on the size of your potato cubes. You don't want them overdone or they will get mushy. Drain and set aside.
- In a medium-sized saucepan, melt butter over medium heat.
- Slowly add flour, stirring, until mixture becomes doughy (you may not need all the flour).
- Slowly add milk, whisking constantly until mixture becomes smooth and creamy. You want it to be a gravy consistency. Add more milk if it seems too thick. Add salt and pepper, to taste.
- Add peas and bring to a slight simmer.
- Carefully stir potatoes into creamy mixture until potatoes are covered.
- Pour creamed peas and potatoes into a serving dish to serve.
Notes
- If using fresh peas, follow these steps to blanch the peas before using them in this recipe:
- Prepare a pot of boiling water.
- Shell the fresh peas while waiting for water to boil.
- Add peas to boiling water and boil for 90 seconds.
- Remove peas from boiling water and add them to the cream sauce in this recipe (step 5). If preparing the peas ahead, cool the peas by plunging them in a bowl of ice water. Drain and keep refrigerated until ready to use. After peas are drained and dried, they can also be frozen for later use.
